FAQs
Q: Can CIC-TC be used outdoors?
A: Yes. Its UV-resistant PVC jacket is rated for sunlight exposure and direct burial.
Q: What is the difference between T90 and RW90 insulation?
A: T90 uses nylon/PVC for flexibility, while RW90 XLPE offers higher temperature resistance (90°C).
Q: Is shielding available for EMI protection?
A: Yes. Optional copper tape shielding (CTS) reduces electromagnetic interference.
